CNP COURSE SCHOLARSHIPS

Empowering accessibility in nutritional psychology education.

Submission Window Open! (May 1st - July 1st, 2023)

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

The Center for Nutritional Psychology (CNP) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that connects you with research, education, and other resources in the field of nutritional psychology.

To support access to nutritional psychology education, CNP will be sponsoring three scholarships for NP 110: Introduction to Nutritional Psychology Methods twice a year. We understand that the cost of higher and continuing education can be prohibitive. In addressing this barrier, we hope to provide students, professionals, and other interested individuals who are not otherwise able to access our courses with the opportunity to study nutritional psychology.

By providing this opportunity, we hope to facilitate greater awareness of the diet-mental health relationship and the need for a nutritional component to mental healthcare. CNP strives to provide equitable learning opportunities and promote inclusivity for all who are drawn to this field.
